If your warranty will cover it, go with the dealership replacement for 2 years warranty.

BTW, Porsche did fix the problem with a completely new motor in the 2009 boxster and cayman S. It has no intermediate shaft and the rear main seal is designed completely differently from what I've read.

We're screwed though... there seems to be no fix for poor design on our motors. The seal is not the problem... it's the unsupported, hanging shaft that wiggles and wobbles in the middle of the RMS that stretches it and causes it to fail.
